What the day is good for
Success days are among the most used for weddings, openings, signings and moving in. Because the day spirit is on the yellow path, the almanac keeps major events on the list. The day branch also clashes the year branch (未), a "year-breaker" day that many almanac users skip for big events.
- Good for: business openings, weddings, moving in, signing contracts, travel and deals and trading
- Avoid: legal disputes
- Peng Zu taboos: 辛不合醬主人不嘗；丑不冠帶主不還鄉

Make it personal
The almanac is the same for everyone. Your own lucky color and best two hours depend on your chart: get them free in Daily Joss, or start with your Joss Profile. Planning something specific? Compare time windows with Joss Timing.
How these are computed: methods and what the Tong Shu is. Good-for and avoid lists follow a simplified table keyed on the day officer; printed almanacs weigh more spirits and can differ.
